discontent

In Bill Hybel's book Holy Discontent, he makes the case that our discontent fuels vision.  The things that we are bothered by should be pushing us to action.  Instead of complaining about a thing, if it really bothers you, do something about it.

What in this world gets stuck in your heart?  Hungry people?  Lonely People?  Depressed people?  People without God?

What pulls on your heart?  Don't ignore it and don't simply let it make you feel badly.  Let your discontent fuel the vision of your life.  Do something about it.  You will be happy that you made the effort.  You can't do everything, but you can do something.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
